Keeper of the Plains Plaza Upgrades

The City of Wichita is in the process of undertaking upgrades for the Keeper of the Plains in order to improve accessibility, safety and enjoyment of the downtown attraction.

During the project, sections of the Keeper plaza will be cordoned off and inaccessible to visitors. Signage will be posted to alert visitors to closures. Closures will start late next week or the week of October 10. The project is expected to be completed in late December 2016.

The upgrades principally include:

Addition of new fire sensors to be mounted in artificial rock formations adjacent to fire pots with cover access plates painted to match other iron work on the project.

Addition of log retaining features along pathways to control erosion of mulch and curtail “walk-thru” by visitors.
